Biography

The jp came together at the start of 2007 to produce a dark, melodic blend of rock and punk inspired by the ominous inevitabilities which life throws at us all. After a great start for jaded playboy in 2007, recording two demos and an EP, playing over thirty shows, receiving radio airplay on XFM and an offer of a publishing contract in the US, the jp returned in 2008 with their well received EP Retreat. The Cabaret Voltaire played host to a very successful launch night in August selling close to 200 EPs. They also performed a live acoustic radio session and interview on Talk 107 the day before. The second EP from the Edinburgh rock outfit has since gone on to shift close to 500 copies through gigging constantly throughout the UK. Their hard work was to be rewarded and noticed; ending 2008 with an excellent showcase performance for JAR music group. Fast Forward on a few months into 2009 and that would bring with it the offer of being included on the Californian record company '272 Records' 'Punk Kills Vol VII' album. Showcasing some of the best unsigned talent from around the globe. The long player will be sent out to 25 Californian college radio stations and will also be available on Amazon. Not to mention in some of the famous tattoo parlours and record shops along sunset strip! jaded playboy will be looking to go back into the studio in May to record their third EP and continue to play all over the UK and hopefully further afield in 2009. with a heart of stone, the jaded playboy seems indifferent to the fate of those who love him, the jaded playboy had completely lost interest in women

Lyrics

Shards

Written By: Ross Mushet

She just dyed her hair, the colour of my heartand i shall declare, ill give this my allTime to set my stall out, all over her bedChristmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are callingChristmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling

As you rise and fall ill stay the sameNuisance at my door that'll be my cloneSo our ship has sailed and im feeling kef The kitchen sink has failed to break this down

So ill admit defeat, before ive begunA fraction of disbelief in what you have swornBlack beauty stands and weeps, she thought i was gone Into the cobbled streets, to find my way homeChristmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling Christmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling

Break up, make up, for her sake do you take her back?Only if you can see this through to the end of your timeWake up, shake up, for your sake do you take her back?Only if I can stand by her to the end of my lifeOnly if I can see this through to the end of my life

Into the depths of despair, to wait for the truthWitness for her to bare, fourth scar to the heartTime to pack my stall up and leave pieces behindChristmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling Christmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling

As you rise and fall ill stay the sameNuisance at my door that'll be my cloneSo our ship has sailed and im feeling kef The kitchen sink has failed to break this down

So ill admit defeat, before ive begunA fraction of disbelief in what you have swornBlack beauty stands and weeps, she thought i was gone Into the cobbled streets, to find my way homeChristmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling Christmas lights are falling, for you my Shards are calling

Little Cinders

Written By: Ross Mushet

Youre so vacant, recall the memories coz this is killing me, look at what youve instilled in meWheres your make-up? You want to make the effort just kill the hostility, youre making me sick again

I started a landslide, then watched from the top as your world caved in on you, I guess im going to hell for thisTangled up in yourself again kiddo? I know how it goes, I criticise and contradict myself, I just cant keep a lid on it

We fell together in the fall with no fuel to burn these leaves After Little Cinders had her ball, the flame was long goneYou feel a reprieve, well I think not, this is history Im so stupid, this is all my fault, its not unusual

Maybe ill go to ground this time, maybe ill take my clothes offYou stand to pose a threat but play it safe and get it onPrivate eyes tail our lives, whats the point in going on?Ive told you a million times, im a little slow on the uptakeEspecially when the heat is on, especially when the heat is on

Lies so blatant, pushed out through the door with no loving memories, cut the cord and then walk away Clinging onto the edge of myself, I try to grow arms and legs but i just dont seem to have the strength, I'll never get to grips with this

Sacred Shots

Written By: Ross Mushet

Sacred Shots

I fired the eyes through Sacred Shots, to start the dayShark infested, what a learning curve, I can scarcely sayGot shock to the system, got shocked to the core, I’m bored againIf I stare at the sky will I encourage lightning bolts, to strike me down

A mentor said, a sensei laid, the best made plans from start to end, you caught the fever which simplified your crush, but that’s ok boy its just head lust rush.No sense of purpose goes with no sense of shame, am I born free once again? I fired the eyes through Sacred Shots, my easy love through Sacred Shots, unfortunate lust through Sacred Shots

A black and white television, reaping my soul A bit of indecision just to keep it in towDrunken vigor, fickle liquor, sleepless nights by the door Where dyou wanna take this? To the end of the line?

I fired the eyes through Sacred Shots, to pass the dayI fight this war as I lie in my bed, to write home againAs im shot down with worry, self prescribe for the pain, to kid myself a friendFair-weather friend here comes a lightning bolt, to strike thee down
